Why is Twitter trying so hard to prevent Elon Musk from taking it over?

No.

 

Once the advertisers leave its a wrap.. Over 44 billion + severance packages +law suits for firing employees without due cause and without a 60 day notice + taking on the full debt of the company....

Apparently Twitter is currently losing $4 million/day because of liberal activists rallying against the platform and getting advertisers to leave. Twitter is basically being forced to cut so many jobs as a result of that. But somehow Musk is the bad guy here....

You have it backwards... Elon Musk came in the door firing from day 1 and then announced more firings. 

 

Twitter only started bleeding money AFTER advertisers started leaving... after having meetings with Musk and they walked away unsure of the direction he is taking the platform. 

 

His master plan is to remove the verification process which verifies public figures and replace it with an 8 dollar charge that anyone can get without verification.... 

 

Meaning someone can pretend to be powerful figures... Anyone can pretend to be  Biden, Zalensky, Putin, Trump etc. 

 

You think advertisers will back a platform where anyone can get pretend to be the most powerful people innthe world and spread mass confusion and hysteria? 

 

What do you think Russia will do once this goes live? Their misinformation machine will be in high gear. 

 

Anyway... So... 

 

 

He ran to Twitter to cry about it... And immediately got fact checked by Twitter... Lmfao 

 

 

Before he started crying again and deleted it.... Poor guy

 

Who could have foreseen this shit show coming?

Not if he turns Twitter profitable. First, no one has enough influence to make all advertisers leave, this isn't China.

 

Secondly, keeping them working and giving them huge bonuses when they leave is probably near as costly as said lawsuits. 

 

A monthly subscription for verified users and cutting down significantly on the ludicrous overpaid workforce is a good start. It will be a rocky ride, but he'll turn this ship around. 

 

It's really cute how internet armchairs connoisseurs worry about one of the richest men on earth acquiring one of the biggest internet platforms there is.

 

All this because deep down, leftists absolutely can't stand that Musk is going to rid of the pro left bias on the platform. Can't even fucking admit it that the platform was even bias to begin with. You're all a bunch of little pathetic turds constantly living in denial. Lmfao.

Advertisers aren't responsible for public speech moderation. The law should. Of course, they are free to leave but the point remains. It's not as if Twitter itself is publishing harmful content as a company.

 

Lol at the fear mongering from Russia influence on Twitter. You do remember Musk is currently letting Ukraine use his starlink satellite system? Apparently, an important edge that the Ukrainians have over the Russian forces. I'm sure the same man will let Russian propaganda run wild on its platform but then again you probably consider his peace proposal deal to be propaganda. Never mind, proceed.  

 

This alarmist reaction from advertisers before anything is even put into place shows a bias more than anything.

 

Anyway, Musk will not turn the site into an unmoderated jungle. He barely even has to make changes to the current guideline. He simply as to assure proper, unbiased moderation, work on the algorithms and be transparent has a company.

 

By the way, the current advertisement of Twitter was not even good and is being under exploited on the site. You think the owner of Tesla/Space X who now owns Twitter has no influence and won't be able to find new advertisement and make even more than before once the dust settled? Haha, that's a good one.

Advertisers are leaving in droves after they met with Musk earlier this week.   That's already happening.. Hence his crying about them losing millions per day. 

 

No.. keeping them working wouldn't cost more than the law suit for every employee that was cut without the notice... are you daft? 

 

The law in that state says thwy have to give 60 days notice if you're being furloughed, that's all I'm saying.

 how you interpret that to mean I said he should keep them employed?  Lol... He is free to fire whoever he, just has to follow the labor laws. 

 

The subscription is not for verified users.  The entire verification process is going away.  Meaning Twitter will no longer verify if you're a public figure or not.  When his subs go live anyone can pretend to be Biden and get verified, pretend to be Putin, Trump, Zalensky you name it...... Once advertisers heard this they started leaving. 

 

 

Lmfao... No one is worried for him except his boot lickers....

 

Us pointing out what's happening =/= worrying for him. 

 

 

So wait.. You're claiming that Twitter is leftist and they didn't want Musk to take over... Yet.... Twitter were the ones that FORCED Musk to purchase... You forgot he tried to back out? 

 

If Twitter was so worried they would have let him back out and walk away. Instead they made of like bandits.   

 

And now he is firing the entire team, without a non compete... Meanwhile twitter's founder is about to launch a new platform... And Musk is basically sending over all the staff there...and now the advertisers are leaving Lmfao. 

 

 

 

 

[Mr. House 3,371]

Still going on about how he was forced to make this purchase.  Full of shiiiiiiit. 

 

He could have backed out the deal for a lot less, you are truly brainwashed and idiotic.

Who said advertisers are responsible for public speech moderation?  Where are you getting that from? Lol

 

They had meetings with him and the shared his plans, which they didn't want to be associated with and they are free to leave. 

 

Musk himself said no more verifications. Anyone can be sub for 8 dollars without verification of who you are. 

 

His own words. 

 

 

I'm not saying Musk himself is going to push misinformation (even though he already did it and had to delete the tweet). 

 

What im saying is with zero verification anyone can impersonate anyone... Which is something Russia and China will pounce on immediately. 

 

They were already doing it by slipping through the cracks from time to time on Twitter before... Now with verifications going away it will only get worse.

I'm sure he would have received 44 billion of punitive damage for backing out the deal.

As always you speak about the things you have no clue about, why are you always so misinformed about EVERYTHING? 

 

Musk tried to back out AFTER signing a binding deal to purchase Twitter. 

 

Twitter sued and the Judge agreed Twitter had a case and gave musk until Oct 28th to close the deal or Twitter can move forward with the suit for the BINDING contract he already signed. 

 

 

"Twitter said Musk, after entering a binding merger agreement, now “refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests.”

 

 

" Musk must complete Twitter deal by Oct. 28 to avoid trial, judge rules" 

 

 

He then closes on Oct 28th to avoid the Trial for the binding contract he already signed

 

 

He got played.... Everyone at Twitter made off like a bandit.

Twitter is entirely reliant on advertising revenue.

 

I believe its about 96% of all the revenue they had historically generated.

 

That's like you taking out a massive business loan to open a restaurant.

 

And somebody asks you "well, how you gonna pay for the loan that you have to start paying"

 

And you respond with "well..........if the restaurant becomes profitable in WEEK ONE...."

 

And then the conversation ends because the other person would've walked away laughing.

As I've said, any sort of punitive damage he would receive from backing out the deal, which is common procedure, would have been a lot less than 44b.  

 

You guys are retarded if you think he was forced to spend 44b on a company that is barely profitable to avoid some punitive damage that he could have easily paid for.

Neither do you or Goukosan, apparently, idiots.

 

Last I heard during some of the earlier days when Musk wanted to purchase the company, he would have to pay around 1B in punitive damage for not going through, 44 less times than the actual deal... The deal wasn't even complete. 

 

Not only that but Musk has to spend much more than 44b to keep this shit running, with huge interest rates. 

 

Who the fuck do you think can force someone to pay 44 billion to purchase a company? You're all retarded. He took a decision of his own free will. There's no way backing down was financially riskier than acquiring this crap, barely profitable company.

Lol at the base level, gaks points had facts, timelines, legal obligations, penalties, and of course Musk closing the deal on the eleventh hour. 

 

You have a hypothetical based on your own inflated ego.

I'm not denying what he's saying in the sense that yeah, if he didn't go through the deal, there would have been lawsuits and fines. I was already aware of that.

 

But to say that Musk was literally forced to buy a 44b company because of that is pure conjecture and a foolish one at that. 

 

You have the worst ego on this forum, by far.

Elon Musk has literally said that they have withheld advertising.

 

And multiple business reports have confirmed that advertising companies have put a hold.

 

Its literally why Elon Musk is moving as quickly as he is.

Retard he already signed the binding contract before he tried to back out.  There was no way out of it, unless Twitter agreed to back out. 

 

Twitter didn't want to squash the deal and the Judge gave Musk until Oct 28th to close... He closed on Oct 28th. 

 

Yes he was forced to close the deal.. Sorry that hurts your feelings
